Line up digits according to place value. 2. Add the digits starting from right to left: Ones: 2 + 3 = 5 6 + 3 = 9 Tens: Hundreds: 4 + 1 = 5 Steps: 1. Line up the digits according to place value. 2. Add: Ones: 5+9 = 14 (carry the 1 to the tens place, which is one place to the left) Tens: 1+ 3+ 5= 9 Hundreds: 8+ 5= 13 Steps: 1. Line up the digits according to place value. 2. Subtract: Ones: 4 – 2 = 2 Tens: 3 – 1 = 2 Hundreds: 2 – 1 = 1 Thousands: 5 – 4 = 1Subtraction with Regrouping 457 – 29 4 1 7 4 5 7 - 2 9 4 2 8 Check by: 428 + 29 457 must be the answer Steps: 1. Line up the digits according to place value. 2. Subtract: Ones: 7 – 9 (must borrow 1 from the 5 In the tens place) Tens 4 – 2 = 2 Hundreds: 4 – 0 = 4Vocabulary: Digit: A numeral, (the number 7 is a digit). Place Value: Each digit in a number occupies a position – that position is called its place value. HESI Hints: 1 Ten = 10 ones 1 Hundred = 100 ones 1 Thousand = 1000 ones 2. 835 + 145 = 3. 1,372 + 139 6 5 9 4. 123 + 54 + 23 = 5. 673 – 241 = 6. 547 – 88 = 7. 222 – 114 = 8. 12,47 8 – 467 = Now you try! 1. 1,803 + 156 = Hundred Tens Ones11 Basic Multiplication (Whole Numbers)23 X 5 1 2 3 x 5 11 5 623 X 45 62 3 x 45 3115 24,92 0 28,03 5 Steps: 1. Multiply one digit at a time. 2. Multiply (5 X 23) Ones: 5 x 3 = 15 (carry the 1 to the tens place and write the 5 in the ones place) Tens: 5 x 2 = 10 + 1 = 11 Steps: 1. Multiply 623 X 5 5 x 3 = 15 5 x 2 = 10 + 1 (carried over)= 11 5 x 6 = 30 + 1 (carried over)= 31 (doesn’t need to be carried over) 2. Multiply 623 x 4 (remember to line up the ones digits with the four by using zero as the placeholder): 4 x 3 = 12 4 x 2 = 8 + 1 = 9 4 x 6 = 24 3. Add the two products together: 3,115 + 24,920 = 28,035 is the final product Vocabulary: Product: The answer to a multiplication problem. HESI Hints: Remember, the placeholders help keep the problem aligned. If you do not skip a space, the answer will be incorrect. Below is an example of a well-aligned problem. Note: Timetables are crucial for doing multiplication, division, fractions, etc. Please notify the tutor if you do not know timesheets by heart at least through 9 x 9.12 30 1 301 x 451 x 451 301 15050 +120400 135,751 Steps: Now You Try! 1. Multiply 301 x 1 ¾ 1 x 1 = 1 ¾ 1 x 0 = 0 ¾ 1 x 3 = 3 2. Multiply 301 x 5 ¾ 5 x 1 = 5 ( remember to use a zero for a placeholder) ¾ 5 x 0 = 0 ¾ 5 x 3 = 15 3. Multiply 301 x 4 ¾ 4 x 1 = 4 ¾ 4 x 0 = 0 ¾ 4 x 3 = 12 4. Add the three products together: ¾ 301 + 15,050 + 120,400 = 135,751 is the final product 5. 795 x 14 = 6. 999 x 22 = 7. 582 x 325 = 8. 9,438 x 165 = 4. 806 x 55 = 2. 325 x 6 = 3. 653 x 12 = 1. 846 x 7 =13 Basic Division (Whole Numbers) 40 8 = Steps: 1. Set up the problem. (Review the vocabulary section). 2. Use a series of multiplication and subtraction problems to solve a division problem. 3. 8 x ?= 40 Multiply: 8 x 5 = 40 Subtract: 40-40=0 The quotient (or answer) is 5 672 6 = Steps: 1. Set up the problem. 2. Begin with the hundreds place: o 6 x ?=6; we know 6 x 1 =6; Therefore, place the 1(quotient) above the 6 hundred (dividend). Place the other 6 under the hundred and subtract: 6-6=0 o Bring down the next number which is 7; 6 x ? = 7. There is no number that can be multiplied by six that will equal seven exactly, so try to get as close as possible without going over 7. Use 6x1=6 and set it up just like the last subtraction problem. 7-6 =1 o Bring down the 2 from the dividend which results in the number 12 (the 1 came from the remainder of 7-6=1). o 6x?=12;?=2 The two becomes the next number in the quotient. 12- 12=0. There is not a remainder. o The quotient (or answer) is 112. Vocabulary Quotient: The answer to a division problem. Dividend: The number being divided. Divisor: The number by which the dividend is divided. HESI Hints: The 5 represents the divisor, the 45 represents the dividend, and the 9 represents the quotient. It is the best not to leave a division problem with a remainder, but to end it as a fraction or a decimal point instead. To make the problem into a decimal, just add a decimal point and zeros at the end of the dividend and continue. If a remainder continues to occur, round to the hundredths place. Example: 233.547 233.55 (the 7 rounds the 4 to a 5) Steps to Division 1. Division 2. Multiplication 3. Subtraction 4. Bring down14 174 5 Steps: 1. Set up the problem. 2. 5 does not divide into 1, but does divide into 17. 3. 5 x 3 = 15 Write the 3 in the quotient. (It is written above the 7 in seventeen because that is the last digit in the number). o 5 x 3 = 15 o 17 – 15 = 2 4. Bring the 4 down. Combine the 2 (remainder from 17-15) and 4 to create 24. 5. Five does not divide evenly into 24; therefore try to get close without going over. o 5 x 4 = 20 o 24 – 20 =4 6. There is a remainder of 4, but there is not a number left in the dividend. Add a decimal point and zeros and continue to divide. 7. The quotient (or answer) is 34.8 (thirty-four and eight tenths). Now You Try! 1. 132  11 = 2. 9,618  3 = 3. 2,466  2 = 4. 325  13 = 5. 5,024  8 = 6. 3,705  5 = 7. 859  4 = 8. 6,987  7 =15 Math Review Directions: 1) Take the portion of the test that follows. Label and do all work on front and back of same page as problem. 2) See pages 42-44 for answer key, to score portion. 3) Provide the following information hereon (page 16) for tutor-and-self- evaluation: Total number of problems: 16 Number correct: Add, subtract, multiply, divide decimals Multiply number correct X 100 = Divide by total number of problems = Tutor will review for areas to work on in math. Areas to work on: , , % , Next step: Go to Math Review, Then Practice Tests 1 & 216 2.6 + 3.1 2.6 + 3.1 5.7 5 + 12.34 12.34 + 5.00 17.34 Addition and Subtraction of Decimals Vocabulary: Steps: 1. Line up the decimal points. 2. Add the tenths together: 6 + 1 = 7 3. Add the ones together: 3 + 2 = 5 4. Final answer: 5.7 (5 and 7 tenths). Steps: 1. Line up the decimal points. o It might be difficult to line up the Example: 5= 5.00 5 because it does not have a decimal point. Remember that after the ones place; there is a decimal point. IN order to help with organization, add zeros. 2. Add the hundredths: 4 + 0 = 4 3. Add the tenths: 3 + 0 = 3 4. Add the ones: 2 + 5 = 7 5. Add the tens: 1 + 0 = 1 6. Final answer: 17.34 (17 and 34 hundredths). 7.21 – 4.01 7.21 - 4.01 3.20 12 – 8.99 Steps: 1. Line up the decimal points 2. Subtract the hundredths: 3. Subtract the tenths: 2 – 0= 2 4. Subtract the ones: 7 – 4 = 3 5. Final answer: 3.20 (3 and 20 hundredths). Steps: 1. Line up the decimal points. 2. Since twelve is a whole number, add a decimal point and zeros. 3. .00 - .99 cannot be subtracted; 1 9 10 12.00 - 8.99 3.01 therefore, 1 must be borrowed from the 12 and regrouped. 4. The ones become 1, the tenths become 9, and the hundredths become 10. 5. Subtract the hundredths: 10 – 9 = 1 6. Subtract the tenths: 9 – 9 = 0 7. Subtract the ones: 11 – 8 = 3 o 1 was borrowed from the tens in order to subtract the 8. Final answer: 3.01 (3 and 1 hundredth). 8. 21.36 – 8.79 = 5. 8.5 + 7.55 + 14 = 6. 18 + 7.55 = 7. 31.84 – 2.430 = 2. 2.258 + 64.58 = 3. 892.2 + 56 = 4. 22 + 3.26 = HESI Hints: The word “and” when writing the number in words stands for the decimal. Example: 5.7 (five and seven tenths) Now You Try! 1. 9.2 + 7.55= 9 8 7 6 . 5 4 3 2 Place value (regarding decimals): Numbers to the right of the decimal point have different terms from the whole numbers to the left of the decimal point.
